Pimping.

I have just started reading [livejournal.com profile] naominovik's book, His Majesty's Dragon, and it's page, err, 24 and I'm already in love with Temeraire. How is the name pronounced then? Tem-er-air?

Thank the Lords of Kobol that this is good, the last book I had to slog through was so bad I threw it in the trash afterwards. Sometimes I do that when a book is so horrible I can't face knowing it's out in the world infecting other people.

Hooray for dragons indeed!




Who else is excited for Friday Night Lights? I know I can't be the only one.

FNL is *so* going to make my day.

But then again, so is N/T and VM

I've been pondering getting that book. And I'm going to the book shop tomorrow, with book vouchers in my pocket.

Totally wating for FNL. Currently coping by watching BSG and trying to get more story ideas. Possibly with Helo. :)

We say Teh-meh-rairrrr in French ("téméraire").
Oh! And wait to discover the small cute dragons in the triology :)

TEM-uh-rare, phonetically, but make it flow faster. That's how it's pronounced in England, anyway. If you were french there would be more 'eh' int he middle and rolling of the 'r's, but stick all the emphasis on the first syllable if you're Captain Laurence.

I have been crazy about FNL for weeks now. Please don't let it disappoint.

Yay, Temeraire! The second book is just as good, believe me. (And did you hear the news about Peter Jackson optioning the books? I love it when fandoms collide like that *grin*)
